smoking drinking fucking

       
       
       
       
right now        
I’m not drinking        
smoking        
or fucking        
but I must still be allowed        
to enjoy the smell of cigarette smoke        
on a cold crisp morning        
       
and one glass of rum        
to a hard-sailing crewman        
is not the drinking        
that drunks do        
       
and I must be able to say        
I’m pretty sure        
that a good looking woman        
with perfect skin        
is hitting on me        
       
she's 28 and tasty        
curves in all the good places        
brown as I like my breakfast toast        
       
makes me feel old        
in every bone        
but one        
       
has got a boyfriend;        
young surfer type        
him oblivious to it        
although you never know;        
surfers ride the waves        
if you see what I mean        
       
but        
a woman like her        
I think        
is going to hear wedding rings        
if I come knocking    
at her knickers    
with wine    
       
which is all a part of why        
I’m not smoking        
drinking        
or fucking
